Description: The World Assembly,

Aware that Crazy Girl was founded in early 2003 in The Pacific; becoming involved in the region's governance, and later fighting (ultimately in vain) to free the region when it was subjected to the infamously tyrannical rule of Francos Spain,

Observing that Crazy Girl was involved in the Alliance Defense Network (ADN), the leading defender military organisation of its day; serving as Secretary of Defence, and through this role helping to protect the sovereignty of numerous regions by defending them against invasion,

Noting that Crazy Girl was a driving force behind the reorganisation of the ADN, which saw it re-branded as the 'ADN Reloaded', with new forums and a new Charter, resulting in a reduction of bureaucracy, allowing the organisation to concentrate on its primary goal of defending regions,

Perceiving that Crazy Girl was one of the three organisers of the 'puppetmaster' liberation of The North Pacific in July 2004, which was the largest successful liberation in NationStates history, freeing the region from the occupation of the New Pacific Order, and seeing it returned to the rightful control of its natives,

Recalling Crazy Girl's contributions to The Rejected Realms, which include:
• Constructing and maintaining their current forums, to aid communication between members, and organisation of the regional government,
• Defending with, and leading, the Rejected Realms Army -- a military that helps to defend vulnerable regions from the threat of invasion,
• Maintaining the security of the region by successfully keeping Kandarin -- the recipient of a WA Commendation (SCR #2), in the position of delegate - despite the delegate being unable to eject or ban nations from the region,

Recognising that following control of Kandarin being ceded to Naivetry, Crazy Girl played a critical role in the transition, ensuring stability, and protecting the interests of residents of the region by facilitating the holding of an election to allow them to decide on the regional delegate,

Believing that Crazy Girl has had a major impact on the improvement of NationStates, by giving insightful feedback on suggested changes to the structure of the global environment, and by providing helpful advice to fledgling nations seeking to involve themselves within international affairs,

Acknowledging Crazy Girl's more irreverent contributions to NationStates, including petitioning the World Assembly to change its misogynistic categorisation of nations as 'Father Knows Best States' by allowing Matriarchies and Queendoms to be recognised as 'Mother Knows Best States',

Concluding that through these diverse and multitudinous contributions, Crazy Girl has made the world a more peaceful and enjoyable place, and that these actions are more than worthy of recognition through a World Assembly Commendation,

Hereby Commends Crazy Girl.

Description: The World Assembly,

Aware that Northern Chittowa has been a key member of the Global Right Alliance, responsibly administrating their forums, and helping to keep the region stable, secure and active, despite the combative nature of its residents,

Recognising Northern Chittowa as an important participant in the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA), an organisation dedicated to the protection and stabilisation of founderless regions across NationStates, through such actions as:
• Founding the alliance alongside Big killer babys and The Merlion,
• Serving as Arch Chancellor of the alliance for 3 terms, comprising a total of 9 months, in the process professionalising the organisation, as well as rescuing it from the brink of death after the failure of Falconias's term as Arch Chancellor,
• Participating in the FRA Rangers, the alliance's military, for over 4 years,

Believing that Northern Chittowa has made a significant contribution to protecting the sovereignty of founderless regions through the aforementioned actions,

Observing that Northern Chittowa established the 'Defender Awards' in 2006, an annual awards system that has now been successfully running for 5 years, and has helped to unite the defender community,

Recalling that Northern Chittowa was a leading member of Lazarus for a number of years, holding a number of governmental positions, and serving as delegate for five months until June 2008,

Applauding the nominee's actions in magnanimously putting the interests of the region above prestige, by stepping down as delegate upon realising that their presence as delegate was leading to the region being targeted by invaders,

Noting that Northern Chittowa's honourable and diplomatic behaviour is acknowledged even by invaders,

Asserting that those nations that contribute to NationStates as significantly as Northern Chittowa has, whilst maintaining the respect of their peers, should be Commended,

Hereby Commends Northern Chittowa.

Description:

The Security Council,

Acknowledging Fudgetopia as the longest serving delegate of The South Pacific, whose reign began on July 5, 2006 and ended on January 1, 2010, totaling 1276 days or three and one-half years,

Remembering throughout NationStates history the Pacific regions have been unstable and difficult to maintain,

Recognizing that Fudgetopia, in compliance with the laws of The South Pacific, allowed challenges to the delegate's position and criticisms of the delegate's leadership at any time,

Amazed that Fudgetopia maintained control of a Pacific for three and a half years, without restricting freedom,

Impressed at this unmatched accomplishment, and also that as a result, Fudgetopia has long been the most influential nation in the world,

Noting that Fudgetopia was founded on September 4, 2003 in The South Pacific,

Realizing since that date, Fudgetopia has been one of the most important figures in The South Pacific and was a founding member of The South Pacific's military, served in various cabinet positions throughout the years, and became a forum administrator of The South Pacific Forum,

Understanding that Fudgetopia has been a positive force of leadership within The South Pacific for over seven years,

Believing that any nation having had such success as the fair and diligent leader of a Pacific is deserving of recognition,

Hereby commends Fudgetopia.

Description: Condemn The Black Hawks

NOTING that The Black Hawks are an aggressive raiding organization.

ACKNOWLEDGING that raiding is legal, yet controversial, under-regulated, and frequently unsportsmanlike.

CONCERNED that The Black Hawks have openly targeted and raided hundreds of regions and used regional bans to permanently exert their control.

RECOGNIZING that The Black Hawks have admitted to conspiring to pass a Security Council resolution to commend their own nation by drafting the text.

CONCERNED that a vote in favor of this resolution will make World Assembly delegates and their regions targets of The Black Hawks, as has been reported following previous proposal attempts.

NOTING that such targeting is proven to have a cooling effect on free speech and the democratic process.

FURTHER NOTING that free speech and the democratic process are the sole methods of presenting or supporting a Security Council resolution.

CONCERNED that a cooling of expression and democracy paralyze the Security Council and prevent it from fulfilling its mandate.

HEREBY CONDEMNS The Black Hawks for endangering the functioning and survival of the Security Council.

Description: The Security Council,

Noting that because Commerce Heights was the former capital of Unified Capitalizt States, many of the following contributions and accomplishments were officially made by Unified Capitalizt States or Paripana,

Acknowledging Commerce Heights is most widely known as the creator of NSEconomy, which calculates Gross Domestic Product, currency value and unemployment levels among many other statistics. NSEconomy has been found to be an invaluable asset for many across NationStates,

Recalling the Olympic Games -- after the dissolution of its earlier council -- was formally recreated after the adoption of an Olympic Charter on January 9, 2010. The Charter was extensively written by Commerce Heights, and establishes a more efficient governing body and a set of formalized rules for the Olympic Winter Games (Winter Olympics) and Games of the Olympiad (Summer Olympics),

Understanding that the Olympic Games are considered one of the most challenging international games to host because of the wide variety of contested sports and disciplines, and yet the nominee has hosted the first and second winter Olympic Games, in addition to the second, third and fourth summer Olympic Games,

Further Understanding that Commerce Heights presided over the Olympic Council during the V Olympiad and has remained active in the management of the Olympic Games as a member of the Games' Executive Committee,

Bearing in Mind to honor Commerce Heights contributions to the Olympic Games, the Olympic Council's headquarters are located in Aeropag, Paripana,

Having Observed Commerce Heights' creation and maintenance of xkoranate, a revolutionary and multidisciplinary software to organize matches for over four hundred different events in fifty-four disciplines. xkoranate has been used during every Olympic Games since its creation, and has greatly aided hosting nations,

Applauding Commerce Heights’ great contributions to International Football:
• Commerce Heights had the initiative to rewrite the totality of legislation governing the World Cup Committee (WCC) with ‘Proposal 1093’ which was later rewritten into a constitution by Starblaydia,
• The nominee -- at the time of writing -- has hosted five World Cups which is an accomplishment only challenged by a select few,
• Commerce Heights founded the Union of International Club Associations which governs four major world football club competitions, and has also maintained the International Domestic Soccer NewsWires which serves to internationally disseminate domestic soccer news,

Celebrating the success of Yuba United FC from Commerce Heights which has won ten international football club competitions -- an unchallenged record. Meanwhile its record of four world championships is only matched by the dissolved Albrecht Football Club from Candelaria And Marquez,

Considering the nominee’s vast contributions to International Sport and Economics,

Hereby Commends Commerce Heights.
